Chapter 268: Coincidence
I still can't forget that incident.
Yuan Siyin remained calm for a long while before slowly straightening up.
Qi Xinxin quickly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped her face, still looking remorseful: "How about we don't go fly kites, go back and rest for a while, and then ask a doctor to check her pulse?"
"No need, it's an old problem."
Yuan Siyin blurted it out subconsciously.
Qi Xinxin frowned: "Old problem? I've never heard Si Fangming mention it before?"
"If we really call a doctor, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of chaos. Take it easy, it will be fine in a while."
"Really?" Qi Xinxin was still somewhat skeptical.
"Really, let's go buy a kite. You didn't bring your wallet, and you didn't bring a kite either. Are you going to fly it empty-handed?"
In order to divert her attention, Yuan Siyin had no choice but to turn the tables on her.
"Oh right, let's go buy kites now."
Qi Xinxin then took her hand, and taking advantage of Yuan Siyin's inattention, she used the tips of her embroidered shoes to kick the candied hawthorn a little further away.
The two bought a kite at the corner, and out of concern for Yuan Siyin's health, they hired a carriage to go to the outskirts of the city.
Yuan Siyin leaned against the carriage wall, her eyes slightly closed, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly upturned, and she didn't forget to tease her: "You don't feel the slightest bit of heartache when using my money."
“Mine belongs to Sister Siyin, and Sister Siyin’s is mine. It’s okay.”
Qi Xinxin blinked innocently, then couldn't help but lean in and touch her forehead.
Yuan Siyin saw through her thoughts at a glance, "What, are you planning to write down my symptoms and tattle on them to Si Fangming?"
That's not how a sister-in-law should act.
"No, I just... I just wanted to take a look."
To hide her guilty conscience, Qi Xinxin poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Why do you always bring him up in everything you do now? It's rare to be alone with Sister Siyin, so let's not talk about him."
As she spoke, she lifted the curtain to survey the scenery outside: "We're already on the outskirts of town, but we're still a short distance from the kite-flying spot..."
Seeing that she had suddenly stopped talking, Yuan Siyin sat up slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Qi Xinxin quickly lowered the curtain, looking somewhat uneasy.
Yuan Siyin understood.
"Did you see someone you know? If you want to do something, then do it."
"I……"
Qi Xinxin looked at her, then at the outside, as if she could see something through the curtain. Her expression was conflicted, as if she didn't know which one to choose.
"Go ahead, I'm going downstairs for some fresh air."
"Then Sister Siyin, you wait for me here. I'll... no, I don't know how long it will take. If you're really bored, Sister Siyin, you can go back by yourself first!"
After saying that, she lifted the curtain, jumped off the carriage in a few steps, and chased after it in one direction.
Yuan Siyin watched her hurried departure, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
There were people he didn't want her to know about.
She got off the carriage and paid double the amount of silver, asking the driver to wait where he was. She then went to look for Qi Xinxin, but instead of finding her, she saw Zhong Heng.
Yuan Siyin shifted her feet slightly and decisively hid behind a pillar, secretly pondering to herself.
If Shen Shen's pursuit of someone is a coincidence, why is Zhong Heng also here?
They hadn't been away from the Qi residence for long, so was Yu Shiyan here too?
"Young lady, are you here for a bite or to stay the night? You're standing here, and this little shop still needs to do business in broad daylight."
The waiter noticed a woman hiding suspiciously behind a pillar at the inn's entrance. He immediately draped a rag over his shoulder, intending to shoo her away.
